PRIORITY PHASE

models may move or use a missile weapon normal move = 6 run = up to 9 (may not engage) if it does not pass within 1 of an enemy model during any part of its movement move halved if Stunned, grievously wounded, encumbered, or moving through difficult terrain may Withdraw 2 if in base-to-base combat with an enemy mounted models move 12 or gallop 18 or make ride-byattack (9 now, 9 in action Phase)

MOvE PHASE

Check when: the Buntais morale is currently Wavering at least 25% of the starting strength of the Buntai suffered a Critical wound in the previous turn (for example, if a Buntai that started the game with 10 models loses 3 to critical wounds in any one turn, it must test the following turn). the leader of the Buntai suffers a Critical wound. roll 2d6 +/- modifiers (a natural roll of 2 is always a success and a natural roll of 12 is always a failure): the Buntai is at less than half strength: +1 the Buntais morale is currently Wavering: +1 the Buntai has at least one model with the Commander ability: -1 the Buntai has a banner: you may choose to reroll the morale test if the result is equal to or less than the Buntais morale rating: if the Buntais morale is currently Steady, then nothing will happen if the Buntais morale is currently Wavering, it will change to Steady if the result exceeds the Buntais morale rating: if the Buntais morale is currently Steady, it will change to Wavering if the Buntais morale is currently Wavering, it will change to routing once a Buntais morale changes to routing, it will remain so for the rest of the game.

TEST MORALE

attacker rolls 2d6 +/- modifiers defender adds modifiers to a base of 6

Modifiers to Shooting Attack Roll target is less than 6 away target is 1224 away target is 2436 away target is more than 36 away target is engaged in combat Shooting model made a normal move this turn Shooting model made a run or gallop move this turn Shooting model previously fired this turn Shooting model is shooting in the move Phase Shooting model has a grievous wound all modifiers are cumulative. +1 -1 -2 (-3 if shooting with a teppo) -3 (-4 if shooting with a teppo) -1 (plus see special rules for shooting into combat) -1 -2 -1 -1 -1

SHOOTING ATTACKS

Modifiers to Shooting Defence Score target has light armour target has medium armour target has heavy armour target is in light cover target is in heavy cover all modifiers are cumulative. +1 +2 +3 +1 +2

Weapon Shuriken (throwing star)

Maximum Range 6

Wound Modifier -2

Special there is no penalty for moving and using a shuriken. the teppo, or arquebus, must be reloaded before it can be fired again (see action Phase, below). Whenever a teppo is fired, it is helpful to place a small ball of cotton wool or similar next to the model to signify this. a teppo is inaccurate at long ranges, and so all shots of more than 24 incur an additional -1 penalty. models that are fired at with a teppo do not gain any benefits from light or medium armour, and heavy armour is considered to be light armour.
